Deserted the Village.

PITTsBURG, Pa. Oct 22.-About Il
o'clock this morning report that the
Acme powder works, near Natrons, this
county, had blown up, killing several Of
the workmen, spread Ike wildfre through
the surrounding county, and the excitement
was great. Fifteen minutes after the rumor
started people living In Pughtown, the near
est village to the dynamite factory, hurriedly
left their houses with what household goods
they could gather together quickly, and
started on a hard run 10 Tarentum, dis
lance of three miles While rushing along
the Freeport road other people living along
the road were panic stricken by the cries
of the frightened fugitiYes, such as my
God, where will you go? The dynamite
works are going to blow up.
People hearing the cry joined In the mad
rush of humanity. Dozens Of the inhabit-
ants OF Pughtown ran to Tarentum, and
coal miners, half naked. left the pits and
ran to the borders Of Tarentum, where
they had to stop for propriety's sake. The
scene made one think tina. an earthquake
or volcanic eruption was taking place.
After the excitement had subsidized, the
correspondent visited the scene, expecting
to see the buildings in ruins, but instead
the work was going quietly on as usual.
On investigating the cause Of the alarm 1t
was found that three coal diggers. John
Alley, VIM Bentley and Jacob Smile, had
been severely burned by an explosion Of
gas In {. mine, and they ran out and to their
homes In Rughtown. Some person seeing
them coming took 1t for granted that
the powder works were going to blow
up, and yelled run, the dynamite factory
will blow up In three minutes; the nitro.
glycerine Is ablaze" This was the sole
cause of the alarm Pughtown people ate
no dinner when they returned, but instead
held prayer meeting. OF the 500 people
living In Pughtown not a person remained
in the house,

Hr. Garrett, the Late President
Makes Trip West.

NETWORK, Oct. 22-Mr. Robert Gar
rett, late president Of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad company, leaves In the morn
Ing fora trip to Mexico and the west. He
will go via Chicago, and will be accom-
panied by Mrs Garrett and two or three
of his friends. Some of his New York
friends went down to Baltimore today to
see him off This occasion brought up for
condemnation some publications recently
made In two or three papers rejecting on
Mr.. CARROTS personal and business habits.
They were pronounced gross exaggera-
tons and largely untrue. Said Mr.. D. II.
Bates, president of the Baltimore & Ohio
Telegraph company, to reporter; Il
have break tasted, lunched and dined with
Mr.. Garrett more than fifty times In the
past few years, frequently in the Central
building in Baltimore, and never but once
was there wine or liquor served and on
that occasion Mr.. Garrett partook but spar
ingly, causing me to remark upon
his absteniousness. Many of my engage
ments with him were early in the morning,
generally before o'clock, and / never had
TO wsit, but always found him on hand
upon my arrival with a considerable part
of his official mail already disposed Of He
was systematic In his methods and dropped
business with remarkable rapidity which
showed well trained mind under perfect
control.
There has been good deal of criticism
of the Baltimore d Ohio Railroad company
being concerned In a telegraph system and
much speculation has been INDUCED in and
differences drawn which are unwarranted
by the facts. AS regards the statement
that the Baltimore & Ohio telegraph has
been an itemof expense TO the railroad CON-
pany Of $50, 600 month for the past five
years that statement Is untrue. There has
IN fact been no loss whatever 70 the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad by the Baltimore &
Ohio Telegraph company, from the
operation of the telegraph system
up TO last April. Since then
influences largely beyond telegraphic
control have caused falling off but the
entire loss for the past six months ending
September 30th, hiss been less than the
amount paid over during the same period
by the telegraph &c the railroad company
for the use of wires and offices on the line
of the Baltimore e Ohio railroad. The
Baltimore & Ohio extensions began under
my direction In 1884 and were practically
all completed In 1885, limited mileage OF
additional wires on trunk routes only being
added In 1886 and 1887. TIE condition of
these lines and business done, and their
capacity for business were clcarly shown In
interviews with DR.. Green and myself pub
lished q few days ago. Whether q railroad
company may be properly interested in a
telesraphic system need not be considered
and / refer 10 this subject only 10 shew the
Injustice of criticism made on MI. Garrett
connection with the telegraph. The public
and the press have been so much benefited
as to lead one to expect al least fair declin-
Ing for the master spirit in the enterprise.
